If you can't get ahold of a good juicer with a press like the old Tupperware one I have, those fancy looking glass ones that look like an ash tray with a huge nipple are good too, you just have to filter the seeds and pull or just flick the seeds if you want to use the pulp. Then squeezers have not got that option.

I always have to consciously remember that you put it in upside down so that it'll be turned inside out to get out more juice. It's never automatic no matter how many times I do it, but that trick helps A lot. It's a similar kind of trick to how i learned left and right as a kid - I've been playing the piano since before I can remember, so my left hand was the one that played the lower notes, rather than the lower notes being the ones on the left-hand sife of the keyboard.

The fact instant lemonade was created so many centuries ago is so amazing. I always thought "Pink Lemonade" was made from lemons and red grapefruit. My family had lots of carport sales when we were little, and me and sis used to sell lemonade to the customers. Our best seller was one pack KoolAid Lemonade + one pack Black Cherry Koolaid. Fruity lemonades are no big deal now, but back in the early 70's, it was pretty innovative!

To turbocharge your lemonade, make use of a technique called oleo saccharum - zest the lemon, cover the zest with sugar, and let sit for up to 24h. It draws out all the essential oils from the zest into the sugar, and if you use that sugar you get all the citrussy goodness into your drink with it. Also very nice for Sirups or Cordials. It was originally used in Punch to hold up to all the navy-strength booze that also went into it - and there's an episode idea for you, I guess.

I use a recipe from the US civil war. Lemons are sliced thin. You put a double layer of sliced in a heavy, flat bottomed pan. Add a sprinkle of sugar. Use a potato masher and mash. Add additional layers, sugaring between the layers. The amount of sugar depends on how many lemons used. I have a lemon tree, so I use about 25 smallish lemons. You then strain the whole mess, pressing. You have a lemon syrup. Taste, add sugar if needed. Fill glass with ice, water and add lemon syrup to taste. It is really the best lemonade ever...just a lot of work.

The story of pink lemonade that I heard as a kid here in the South (northern panhandle of Florida) was told to me by my grandmother who said her grandmother told her. In Florida lemons and citrus grows very well as most know but during the civil war and its blockade of the south, sugar was hard to get. Most used alternatives like honey for their tea and drinks. Honey alone wasn't enough to sweeten lemonade without changing it's taste and making it rather dull and thick so they started experimenting with some honey with different native berry varieties like mulberry, blackberry, or strawberry. Red mulberry tasted the best and gave it a light pink color.... and pink lemonade became a staple. It kind of died out for a while after the civil war and as sugar became available again, but slowly made a come back when people in the area realized that adding berry to sugared lemonade instead of just honey lemonade made it less tart and bitter. That's the story I was told while sitting on my grandmother's porch drinking pink lemonade during a hot northwest Florida day.

Pink lemonade: there’s a version of this recipe that involves seeping sumac into water, the one you can find in North America and has these big red flower clusters. It contains an acidic compound (malic acid maybe?) and the red colour makes the drink pink. I tried making it once, it’s quite tasty and because it doesn’t have lemons it has a different mouthfeel because it’s not citric acid.

My great aunt made the best lemonade every summer and I asked her for the secret: “ A good pinch of salt.” “Pressing the zest” can also refer to muddling it. So she would zest the lemon and orange that she needed, add those fruits to the ”to be juiced” pile, muddle the zest with the sugar before adding the liquids. Yours has the same color as hers. If you try to add cherry juice or anything to make pink lemonade out of this recipe, it will turn even more orange. If you want pink lemonade, leave out the orange juice and zest, increase the lemon juice and sugar, and squeeze one fresh cherry into the mix. No cherry flavor, but a lovely pink color.

Dear Max, the pink lemonade I know is usually made either by adding red grapefruit, or better yet hibiscus. I highly recommend the latter. Also personally I can't handle that type of lemon squeezer, I prefer the old style where you turn the lemon on a countertop squeezer. No need to fuss over what goes where, way better mechanical leverage, and it doesn't flail around while using it.

Heck yeah. I'm a new subscriber and a fan. I love lemonade my whole life. Food history is a hobby of mine too. I fascinate people or bore them all the time with how Caesar salad was invented in Mexico, and the histories of beef stroganoff and classic American thanksgiving day menu, and I know humans have made beer and cheeses for over 6000 years. Also, Honey doesn't go bad. They've found it in Egyptian tombs and you can eat 4000 year old honey. I learned about lemonade now from you. Always my favorite non alcoholic beverage. Mixed with tea... Arnold Palmer, add a shot of vodka it becomes a John Daly. Learned that on Jeopardy last night. As a kid I was doing country time and grew out of that (too much sugar). In High school speech class I chose lemonade as a demonstration, which in pre-food network 1993, I did like I was doing a cooking show. My recipe was 9 lemons, 1 heaping cup of sugar, and slightly less than a gallon of water so you have enough room in the pitcher for the other ingredients. I demonstrated how to cut a lemon and juice it, how to measure a cup of sugar and how to stir quickly but not so quickly it flies out the top. Also, I used my mom's Tupperware red one gallon pitcher and glass and plastic Tupperware juicer, both of which I still have and use. They were 18 years old in 93! Long story about done, I nailed it in 3:45 leaving a couple minutes of Q&A as the whole thing had to finish in 5 minutes with a minute of extra questions if needed. 26 other students had no questions that I thought were hard. One asked me to repeat the recipe. A plus of course because 50% was peer graded and they all got a small cup of lemonade. I forgot to mention that I told them everything is to taste, if you like it sweeter or more sour, adjust accordingly. These days in my late 40's I have to watch those triglycerides, so here's an easy one that I like for a big glass of sugar free lemonade. Two packets of nutrisweet, five packets of true lemon and start with 16 oz. water. Add more if too strong. But when you find the right balance, you're gonna suck it down and make another. For a gallon you may only need 6-9 nutrisweets but at least 20 or more of true lemon. You can get big boxes of that on Amazon. Try it! Peace out!

The reason you put it in backwards is because you are trying to force the lemon to change shape as much as possible. The more it has to deform, the more juice comes out. You want that lemon to look like it's been turned inside out when you are done.
